Analysis of similarity/dissimilarity of DNA sequences based on dual nucleotides. (English) Zbl 1270.92015
Summary: Based on neighboring dual nucleotides we reduce a DNA sequence into a plot set in a four-dimensional space, and associate it with the eigenvalues of the introduced covariance matrix. The examination of similarities/dissimilarities among the coding sequences of the first exon of the \(\beta\)-globin gene belonging to eleven species illustrates the utility of our approach.
